Dr. Pantelis Nikolaidis has a B.Sc. degree in sports sciences from the University of Athens, and an M.Sc. and a Ph.D. in exercise physiology from Charles University in Prague. Pantelis headed an exercise physiology laboratory, where he conducted research on the variation in physiological and anthropometric characteristics of young athletes. In parallel, he pioneered research on the role of age in endurance and ultra-endurance athletes. His scientific work has been published in over 400 publications. |
The following is a short Q&A with Dr. Pantelis Nikolaidis, who shared his vision for the journal with us, as well as his views of the research area and Open Access publishing:
1. What appealed to you about the journal that made you want to take the role as its Section Editor-in-Chief?My motivation behind actively working with Physiologia was its potential to lead the research in this field and advance our knowledge, especially in the area of my expertise (exercise physiology).
2. What is your vision for the journal?My vision for Physiologia is to become a leader journal in this field.
3. What does the future of this field of research look like?The future of this field lies in its interdisciplinary approach to the associated research problems, which make it necessary to encourage collaboration among scientists from different specialties, such as biologists, doctors and sports scientists.
4. What do you think of the development of Open Access in the publishing field?The development of Open Access was a milestone in the evolution of scientific research. During the period in which I was an M.Sc. and Ph.D. student, I remember the difficulties I faced in order to obtain the full texts of abstracts that I found on PubMed, Scopus and other databases. Open Access solved these difficulties. I am also happy to see that the development of Open Access is continuously expanding, e.g., I often receive notifications from my university about new possibilities to cover the publication fees.
We warmly welcome Dr. Pantelis Nikolaidis as the Editor-in-Chief of the Section “Exercise Physiology”, and we look forward to Physiologia achieving many milestones under his leadership.
